Crab Meat is the meat found within a crab, is one of favourite seafoods around the world. It is used in many cuisines across the world, prized for its soft, delicate, sweet taste. Crab meat is low in fat and contains around 82 calories per 3-ounce serving. Swimming crabs are among the most commercially available species of crabmeat globally.
Our crab meat is “handpicked” - this refers to the method by which the crab has been processed (by hand) and ensures the flavour of the crab meat is unadulterated. By contrast “machine processed crab” is produced by using water or air to blast the crab meat from the shell which has a detrimental effect on the flavour.
Often considered the most versatile grade for the widest range of recipes, our Crab Meat consists of the smaller pieces of white meat from the body of the crab. Perfect for crab cakes, salads, quesadillas, wraps, soups, and crab balls.
Be very gentle when handling crab meat. The goal is to keep the chunks of crabmeat together. It is recommended to look over the fresh crab meat while you prepare it, just in the rare case of some leftover shell. It is a good idea to prepare your favorite dish, and then gently “fold in” the crab meat to avoid breaking apart.
